  more details now.
  
  I did an investigation in the last minutes regarding this matter. I wrote an e-mail to a german friend, who told me more. He told me that a german JW named Frank (62yr) writing under the nick "brigadoon" had obviously offended puternut last Friday. Within few minutes all his postings he ever wrote in this forum became deleted and removed. But my friend said that "brigadoon" got pushed out from the board although he had apologized himself for a mistunderstood joke. Allegedly he had never a bit of an intention to offense puternut, he allegedly said that it was so difficult for him to make his speech understandable because he is nt native english speaker and he had to translate all sentences word by word. Now, all his efforts he ever made in this board were in vain, because all get deleted and he has no access anymore. He is very angry, my friend said. Allegedly, the thing happened after a member named xjw_b12 demanded the deletion emphasically, and Simon obviously followed at once..
  
  One day later same happened to some other members in this board, my friend said.
  
  Folks, I have no idea. I dont know if this accusations are true. I also have no idea what Frank wrote. If somebody here in this board can give me an answer btw can tell me what really happened Friday, he may post this.

  Would YOU Have REALLY Died For Your Brother or Sister???

  since jws say they would do the ultimate and actually die for their brother, was that something that you honestly feel that you would have done?

  "Bad news is that this disease will kill off THEIR kidneys that they give him as fast at is did his own, because he refuses to transfuse blood..."

  Hi

  A weird world, where blood-transfusion get refused, but transfusion of kidneys get NOT refused. I cannot understand this policy. Blood is an organ consisting of cells and proteins, same as a kidney or a liver. Presently is no absolute virus-elimination possible. One can receive HIV or hepatitis C in both cases. Think the WTS should consider this fact intensively.

  Jehovah invented the radio

  by onacruse in

  but when the lord invented the radio, he started something that is calculated to cause great anxiety to such pastors as have made his pleasant portion a desolate wilderness; and some of them now admit as much.

  nevertheless the radio is here, and nothing can prevent the truth from going out by that means and penetrating where otherwise it could never reach..

  in what manner could this witness work be done except by means of the radio and by a publication of books containing the message of the truth?

  It seems that I am the only person in this forum who was NOT SURPRISED in 1995
  when this "new light" by the WTS got revealed...;-)

  Years before, I already had a discussion with a brother, where I told him that in my opinion
  the organization within a short time will change their understanding regarding the " generation" into this direction. He was stunning and speechless, and he didn't believe me...

  the "what if" thing comes to mind... no matter how much i strongly believe that they are not, what if armageddon happened tomorrow and they were correct?

  would you have any sorrow for being wrong???.

  i, personally would not.

  Sorry folks. Your thinking is wrong.

  Jehovah will go to change this world to bring justice and righteousness. That does not depend on the behavior of any organization which speaks in his name, or bears his name. The change to a new righteous world is an unconditional necessity. If Jehovah would not do so, the mankind would fall into a moral, ideological and economic black hole worse than everything you can imagine....

  Question on the War in Iraq

  by dins in

  2. current

  after reading the face of war post on how the us in covering up the atrocities, it has finally compelled me to ask this question which has been on my mind for weeks.

  i am glad to see saddam gone and think in the end it will have been the right thing to do.

  but when bush told saddam to disarm "or else" what if saddam had really disarmed?

  The question now is:
  
  Can the US stop the chaos and anarchy in Iraq now, or not?
  
  If not, if looting and murdering is going on and on in Iraq, and if the people starve to death through hunger and thirst, I think is on the time that some of the "unwilling" war-coalition are going to send their troops to Iraq to reestablish law and order. Not 100 000 troops, but 1 million... They should take the oil- fields for compensation of their expenses, until the Iraq is clean of murder!

  iraq's information minister said tuesday it has no intention of surrendering to us forces which have seized parts of baghdad.

  mohammed saeed al-sahaf said iraqi troops had the situation under control.

  speaking under slight duress as american and british forces stormed the small suburban home that had been occupied by his information ministry officials, al-sahaf said:.

  Okay, US-troops will win. They are in the strong position to bomb Iraq and Iraqian people down into the dust.
  
  But can you imagine a time - in a near or far future - where US-soldiers could win the hearts of Iraqian people? Can you?
  
  How many soldiers have to remain in Iraq year by year? 200 000 ? Or a half million? Or one million? Who should pay this?
